title: Synergism in the inhibition of Bacillus subtilis by combinations of lipophilic weak acids and fatty alcohols.
abstract: Combinations of two lipophilic weak acids and alcohols acted synergistically to inhibit growth of Bacillus subtilis. Alcohols contributed to both reversible and irreversible inhibitions by acids.
